Thu veiled ItilpllilenCn In the reply of (lrr.it
Itrltn In to Uncle H.i m 'ii protest concerning tho
Imperial appropriation or oil rights In various
countries which huvo fallen under thu domina
tion of John Hull jih a consequence of the Ver
sailles treaty, serves to call attention to thn
ar.utrncKS of thu Issun which has been Jollied
between the two countries over thu petroleum
situation,
Tho dlplomatlo exchange referred to made
It clear that It In tip; attitude or llrltaln that this
country Is Wlhtnut nny trade or exploring rights
In nny of thn mandate countries so long ns It
remains outside the league. In this attitude
Ilrlluln Is running true to form, Hut thu con
clusion reached by some American commenta
tors that thin country is without recourso other
than to got Into the league, where It woild be
inoro completely dominated by the llrltlsh
theory than outside, Is' rash Indeed and very
much contrary to thn record.
Htrange enough wu havo to thajik our own
senator, Thomas 1'. (lore, for thu fact that
America Is prepared for both defense and re
prisal, If necessary. In other words', In the oil
war between the two governments, t'nelo Sam
Is not at a hopeless disadvantage with John
Hull.
When several months ago, and after Knitlund
had apparently sueeoeded In her oil swhonics,
Plr V. McKay Edgar, tho well known Kngllsh
man, gave out his rooklsh statement calling at
tention to tho fact that "except for Mexico nnd
a small part of the United Stntes, tho entire
world was barricaded agnlnta American oil In
terests," thero was a movement inaugurated
In tho United Htaten senate to exclude Kngllsh
oil Interests from thu United States,
This movement was led by tletmtor Cloro.
It was not directly successful on 111 fao but
It did senru Indirectly by the enactment or it
law April 1, 1!C0, which enables the secretory
of thn navy to jrrnto oil reserves In any state,
and henco, If necessary, to expropriate for
eign Interests.
That our government will sit Into this In
ternational petroleum gamu nftur March I In n
very different frame of mind from that which
has animated It for tho past few yearn, Is,
happily a matter not open to dispute. The
Imperialistic hypocrisy of John Hull will bu
Hpeedlly disclosed.
WHST IK WHST AND UST IS HAST.
And so It Is about to bu admitted, albeit
reluctantly, that (1ml knew what he was doing
after all. Tho league Is discovering that "West
Is West and l"ast Is Mast" still. Others havu
discovered It before, Others have never over
looked the fact. Hut the Inventors of a new
world, party hypocrlt and part Ignorant, thought
they could ropral tho work of Clod and Ignore
tho natures of men.
Argentina's; bolt from tho lear.uo has been
sustained by nil the other latin countries of
the south, while even tho western dependencies
of Oreat llrltaln are repotted Joining with them.
Tho forecast Is that tha league faces tho with

phere. Of court. Tho Went Is West and tho
Hast Is Hast.
Tho ambitions, tho aspirations, tho charac
teristics, tho Ideals even tho morals and
amusements' of tho West conflict Instantly and
everlastingly with tho Kast. The Kastern
hemisphere Is old; tho Western hemisphere Ih
new, May mating with December Is no more
Incoligrtilous nnd Impossible of a happy union
than tho attempt to mnto West with Hast.
Tho history of tho Kustertt hemisphere has
been wrlten. Thu history of the Western hem
isphere is In thu procein of writing with the
most heroic chapters still n nebulous hope In
the minds of its people, In the West there exists
a prldo constructed on confidence lit pre'it
ability; In tho Kast thero Is a pride that
rests altogether on the achievements embalmed
tu history. Thu West Is animated by that
timid self nssuranco which Ihiim-IIs explora
tion and experiment; the Kast Is animated by
the churlish Intolerance of ago which exacts
childlike respect and blind obedience.
Whether tho apparent break between tho
nations of tho two hemispheres materializes

Thu chief concern of tho republicans' of
Oklahoma now should be to take full advan

ity of the voters to rebuke Incompetency and
extravagance In public office. Wu believe when
the tlmo comes the democratic state administra
tion will bu found fully ns wanting an wax the

tho rcpuhllcnnn of Oklahoma will be to offer

must have a national committeeman who In

unselfish to thn corn and not Interested tu nny

within the party to keep himself In power.
Oklahoma has seen enough of "millionaire"

but was a result of widespread dissatisfaction
with thu Wilson administration. Thousands

willingness to rhnnge nt any time they are

Is to take nil vantage ot this fact nnd repeat If

Hut to Insure ftituro republican success in
Oklahoma, thu par'v must look from this tlmo

A UTriiH TIMi: AT 1IO.MH.
Thin life has grown so mixed n thing, with
nil there Is to do.
One task treads on another's heels before
you're fairly through;
It's business In the morning, when I rend
my mall or try,
Hefore tho telephone begins Into my tlmo
to pry,
Or visit with a visitor and treat him mi n
friend,
Then hustle to a meeting that I'vu promised
to attend;
Hut nowhere In tho schemo of life slnco I
grew up to roam,
Heems there to be an hour for me to spend
lu peace at home.
I would not by a word of mlno or single
hasty act
Wound any man who calls me friend. I
merely state the fact
That life ban lost Its olden chnrm which long
ngo It knew
When men could be contented hero without
a thing tu do.
Hut now upon a treadmill that goes ever
round and round
Krom dawn to midnight I must trudgci for
fear that I'll be downed;
t'pon n schedule I must toll, as ship that
ply tho foam.
Chartered tor everything except a quiet hour
ut home.
When dawn arrives nnd over nil the shades
of night descend
Somewheie there Is a banquet or n show
I must attend;
Into my evening drexs I Jump, tho while
my girl nnd l.nl
Stand bv me, as I sbnve myseir, to visit with
their dad.
The old tlmo father used to take his children
on his knee,
Hut that's one happy privilege which life
denies to me;
And yet I vow some day wo three will shnro
tho evening glo.tm,
And 1 will tell them wondrous tales thn
night I nt.iy nt home.
I often fancy I would like to catch some
mild dlseise
So I might stay In bed awhile nnd rend what
books 1 please,
Pome comfnrtnble ailment which to suffer I'd
enjoy,
With no committees to attend, no phone calls
to nniinv
A few brief days 0f perfect peace, too III to
do a thing,
Yet not too III to want to hear the songs the
youngsters sing.
Could 1 break ui) the schedule which com

I'd reallro my fondest dream a llttlo time

As soon as the Harding administra

Itepresentallve Martin Madden of
Illinois, n member of the republican
steering committee, declared today
In the Marlboro-Hlenhelm hotel.
Mr. Mndden asserted with postlvc

would call a special session of con

In office to make pence with Ger

not believe congress has anything to

"If thn business men want a closed

Into eirect. I do not helluva they
want congress to Interefcre."
For the same renson Mr. Madden
Is not In r.'tvnr of special legislation
for labor. He said It was absurd
even to Imagine that congress could,
compel owners or plants to run
